I was trying to do a memory upgrade the other day, and tried to take the wrong screw off. I went to try to screw it out, but the screw stripped. How can I get this thing removed and replace it with a new one? Or should I just take it to the local genius bar?
Got a tip for us?

You could drill the screw out, but be sure to mask everything off to prevent metal shavings from getting lodged in the wrong place and causing a short.
